"I am Sorry Joni & Neil."

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tests positive for COVID
The PM says he's 'feeling fine'

"This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. I’m feeling fine – and I’ll continue to work remotely this week while following public health guidelines. Everyone, please get vaccinated and get boosted."
I confused. Do I get jabed and boosters so I can test positive for Covid 19? Do I understand that correctly?
 
He instituted the CA mask mandate, has mow extended it 2x’s. This requires businesses to make rules like this one from Sofi Stadium, where the picture of him and Magic was taken……
He is a complete hypocrite. Meanwhile my daughter is probably running a mile in her PE class today with a mask on. Following “the science” means damaging our children with mask mandates in school while this idiot goes to sporting event and hobnobs with the elite maskless against his own orders.
 
I want Free, Fair and Honest Elections and Free Fair and Honest society. Who is for that? Or, are you like my elitist pal who thinks all votes ((legal & illegal)) shall be counted and only his view of his little bubble shall be protected. Everyone else to Mr. Elitist Snobgrass smell, are losers, won;t obey mandates and think way too much like Joe Rogan and not like Joey Bribes.
 
Ahhh makes sense -- For some reason I didn't realize SoFi was a dome -- shows how much I watch American Football. Yeah not a good look at all.
Not at all a good luck because they do this on purpose. They are above the mandates and are hypocrites to the core. They have stolen two years of our kids lives and have ruined small business in California. Forcing kids to wear a mask is abuse and bullshit. This is your fault bro and you better do something.
 
He comes across as likeable a reasonable and sincere guy. What little I've seen of his show seems like people sitting around shooting the bull, which can lead to interesting conversations. Based on his listenership that obviously has some appeal, I suspect his "bro-ness" has a certain appeal to some as well. I don't see him has some fringe podcaster. He could have easily said "f you, you all just need to grow a pair", instead he is pretty circumspect about the issue. Fauci could probably learn a few things from him on how to handle criticism.
I am thinking about the motivations for calls to censor him.

Politicians - The perceived failure of those in power who believed/still believe in "COVID 0". They need someone to blame. It reminds me a bit of what happened when Trump won and Clinton blamed it on Russia - a complete lack of accountability.

Media (News and talk shows such as Rogan's) - Many unabashedly advocate with the energy of religious zealots. For those, any thoughts to the contrary on COVID must be silenced.

Others - Irrational fear leading to poor risk assessment. When you believe Rogan's podcasts are more dangerous than censorship, that's all that needs to be said for me.

Underlying it all is a sense of those in power and their supporters that a significant portion of our population is unable to think critically and they must be protected.

They hid behind the claims of "misinformation". The reality is that it has nothing to with misinformation but what makes them feel uncomfortable because it doesn't fit their narrative. I've said for a while the biggest threat to the left is an opposing opinion and this is just another perfect example.

Medical advice from Joni Mitchell, WTF? She has s psychosis where she believes string-like objects are sprouting out of her skin and claims its an actual disease. Maybe we need a disclaimer on her music.

The last statement you made says it all, but I think politicians are correct in making that assessment. Most of the population is afraid to think critically and make informed decisions, they are too eager to believe what they hear and are incapable of rational thinking. Newsoms latest, no mask ploy, shows it really doesn't matter what they do, because they know the majority of the people are going to vote for them anyway. I am sure Newsom feels like he is above it, he did that same stuff his entire career and when it came to a recall he smashed it, it wasn't even close, clearly it isn't about what they do, but what more about what they say....and the vast majority believe them...crazy
 
Who calls intercollegiate sports varsity?

Princeton, for one.


Ivies tend to be a little behind the times.

Happy to let you assume I don’t want to know what I’m talking about, if you prefer.

Wow, you went to Princeton...okay! If you hung around athletes you would know they don't say I played varsity soccer at UCLA...lol, I really got a laugh out of that one!!!!
You found a school that post on their website they have varsity sports...I also guarantee you the person who created and wrote that website didn't play college sports!!!
Clearly you aren't around college players, and definitely haven't played, because nobody says I play varsity "sport" in college..lolololol
 
Someone should sue NFL, Gavin and SoFi for putting law abiding citizens in danger. Where is the outrage people? Your dearly beloved flouting is own mandates, while your kid is wearing a mask! When are all you libs going to wake up?

You might not want to put too much money on that statement. Princeton is a small school with a lot of athletes. There is a very good chance the editor of the admissions webpage is an alum who played in college.

What you’re really saying is that schools like UCLA no longer call it varsity. Which is true. But not every college is like UCLA.

Some people learned the term at Merriam/Webster college --

1. Firstly, boo princeton.
2. But it is interesting you bring up Princeton or any Ivy. It's an example of an institution working directly against the principles you stand for (and which BTW I'm somewhat sympathetic towards in this instance). As you know, princeton earmarks certain admissions for preferences. They include athletes, legacies, oppressed minorities, foreigners, and first generation college. As you know as well, people have been complaining that the Ivies aren't a true meritocracy, since Asian candidates with higher marks have alleged they are discriminated against when these categories are used. Princeton and the other Ivies also, despite rising population and despite an increase in applications from overseas, have not been increasing the number of their admits. Given it's a fixed amount, and scarce resource, the fact that "princeton is a small school with a lot of athletes" is problematic. It means a lot of top notch recruited athletes are taking away academic space from other less athletic individuals. Those less athletic individuals won't be at Princeton to argue about intramural field access because those less athletic individuals aren't there (their space having been given preference to the recruited athletes).
 
Maybe JV teams at University could help with those 40 player rosters these days.

Many years ago, when NCAA did not allow freshmen on varsity teams, there was an entire shadow competition among freshman teams.

Big schools (such s Notre Dame, as famously made public in the movie Rudy) keep entire second teams for use as practice targets.

Boo Princeton?

You're not going to bait me into some pointless argument about the relationship between the Big 3 and the lesser Ivies.

Yes, that is true....So either you are 70/80 years old or you have never played college sports, because nobody has called it that for that for the last 20 or 30 years...I'm not just saying UCLA, I'm saying all colleges/universities...your credibility is quickly diminishing
